HEXAMERON

This album is worth putting on the map. It has an eighties prog. feel to it, with an even tempo throughout and polished production. The use of familiar singers restricts creativity however. Use Anthony Phillips' singer and it sounds like... Anthony Phillips! Same with the use of IQ's Peter Nicholls. The album plods along happily with songs that are fresh, but beg not to offend, and then, well the earth stops! Steve Hackett plays guitar on an exceptional track 'Seven hands of time', and if you like our Steve then you will need to hear this to believe how wonderful it is. Fantastic! Bright and breezy, the album's easily worth 3 stars. With track 7 it takes it up to 4.
